Chapter 78: Old Ancestor, Do You Still Lack a Concubine?

"What?!"

The Sword Gate Remnant Immortal heard the old ancestor's words and was completely dumbfounded.

The Twinkling Light Immortal King……was crying and shouting, wanting to be this old man's concubine?

And he was even kicked out by him with a kick?

This……this damn, are we listening to a myth?

That's the Twinkling Light Immortal King!

He's even paying to be taken on?

And he was still rejected?

The Sword Gate Remnant Immortal felt that his brain was completely inadequate.

He didn't really want to believe it.

But what the other party said was detailed and plausible.

As a proper True Immortal, he wouldn't lie, would he?

"Impossible, you're talking nonsense! You're insulting the Immortal King!"

The Sword Gate Remnant Immortal roared like a madman.

In his heart, the Twinkling Light Immortal King was supreme, a sacred and inviolable existence.

It was her, the female Immortal King he revered in his heart!

He would absolutely not allow anyone to tarnish the Immortal King's prestige like this!

"Insult?"

The old ancestor curled his lip, looking disdainful.

"I, the old man, am speaking the truth; believe it or not, it's up to you."

"You care about her so much; could it be that you're secretly in love with her?"

"It's a pity; when I rose to prominence, you didn't even know where you were."

After the old ancestor finished speaking, he couldn't be bothered to waste more words on the Sword Gate Remnant Immortal, and directly pointed a finger.

A beam of immortal light instantly entered the opponent's forehead.

The Sword Gate Remnant Immortal's body stiffened, the madness and unwillingness in his eyes instantly freezing.

Then, his vitality receded like a tide.

His whole body fell straight down from the air.

Thus, the foundations of the four supreme lineages of Sanqian Zhou, the four remnant immortals who had lived through countless eras, were all wiped out!

The entire process, from the old ancestor's move to its end, took no more than a few dozen breaths in total.

"All done, work finished."

The old ancestor clapped his hands, as if he had merely done a trivial little thing.

Then, he flickered and returned to Gu Yuan's side, his face once again breaking into a kind and benevolent smile.

"Good grandson, were you scared?"

Gu Yuan watched his grandfather's face-changing technique, faster than flipping a book, and couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

"Grandfather, you just said……the Twinkling Light Immortal King wanted to be your concubine?"

Compared to the four remnant immortals, Gu Yuan was still more curious about this matter.

This is an Immortal King!

And it's a female Immortal King!

And yet grandfather actually looked down on it?

"Cough cough!"

Hearing this, the old ancestor's face turned red, and he coughed twice somewhat embarrassedly.

"You actually believe this kind of talk."

"If I, your grandfather, had such ability, I wouldn't be unaware of the affairs of this world."

"Yuan'er, it's not that grandfather is criticizing you, but when you're out and about, fabricating your identity, being able to deceive the opponent, spoil a bit of his Dao heart, and let him feel unsatisfied before death—how great is that."

The old ancestor spoke while patting Gu Yuan's head, wearing an expression that said 'You're still young, there's still much to learn.'

Seeing the old ancestor's demeanor, Gu Yuan earnestly nodded and gave his grandfather a thumbs-up.

"Grandfather, your wisdom is near demonic; I am convinced."

The old ancestor, satisfied, straightened his waist.

Having been shocked so many times by this monstrous grandson, this time he finally had a chance to teach him how to be a grandson.

"Old Ancestor, do you still lack a concubine? How about me?"

Just then, an untimely voice sounded weakly.

Everyone followed the sound and saw Gu Zhan, that simpleton, smiling obsequiously as he approached the old ancestor, rubbing his hands, full of expectation, and asked.

"Get lost!"

The old ancestor, annoyed, kicked him in the butt.

"You country bumpkin, what are you doing joining the fun? If you dare to spout nonsense again, believe it or not, I'll throw you into the forging furnace to be remade!"

"Hehe, Old Ancestor, I'm just joking."

Gu Zhan rubbed his butt, not angry at all, instead he hehe'd with a silly laugh.

His doing this instantly turned the originally somewhat solemn atmosphere into a light and cheerful one.

Gu Linjiang and the others looked at those remnant immortal corpses sealed in the ground.

Then looking at the old ancestor and Gu Yuan chatting and laughing happily, their hearts, aside from awe, were filled only with boundless pride.

This is the Gu Family's patriarch and young master!

Even a residual immortal must die.

"Alright, stop making trouble."

The patriarch snorted, then turned his gaze to the three corpses of the residual immortals, as well as the sealed residual immortal of the Immortal Palace.

He stroked his chin, a glint flashing in his eyes.

"These four old fogies may not be strong now, but they were once peak True Immortals in the Immortal Dao realm; I deliberately left a portion of their cultivation and essence when I acted, for our Gu Family values not wasting anything."

The patriarch's words made the several Supremes present jump in their hearts, their breathing unconsciously becoming hurried.

They vaguely guessed what the patriarch intended to do.

Indeed.

The next moment, the patriarch's gaze fell upon Grand Elder Gu Linjiang.

"Linjiang, you've been stuck at the peak of the 18th realm for over a hundred thousand years, right?"

The patriarch asked.

"Replying to the patriarch, it's 183,000 years."

Gu Linjiang hurriedly bowed and replied, his heart surging with excitement.

He knew his opportunity had arrived!

"180,000 years… that's long enough."

The patriarch nodded.

"Today, I will lend you a hand to help you cross that threshold."

Saying that, he waved his hand.

The corpse of the dead Sword Sect residual immortal flew uncontrollably to Gu Linjiang's front.

"This old thing cultivated the Slaughter Sword Dao; all of its essence is condensed in that sword heart."

"Now you refine him."

"Using the Immortal Dao essence as a guide, I will cut your Supreme shackles; today, here, you will prove the Dao and become a Heavenly Emperor for me."

The patriarch's voice was grand and overflowing with undeniable domineering aura.

To have an 18th-realm cultivator on the spot refine a residual immortal and prove the Dao to become a 19th-realm Heavenly Emperor?

If anyone else said that, they'd definitely be considered a lunatic.

Because, this is absolutely impossible!

The Grand Dao essences of different cultivators clash with each other.

Forcibly refining it, the only outcome is to explode and die!

Moreover, it's refining the essence of an immortal!

That's practically suicide!

But, these words coming from the Gu Family patriarch's mouth.

yet no one would doubt them!

Because, he is a True Immortal!

He has the ability and the means to turn the impossible into possible.

"Thank you, patriarch, for fulfilling this!"

Gu Linjiang trembled all over with excitement, having no hesitation.

He directly knelt before the patriarch, bowing deeply and knocking his head three times.

183,000 years!

He has been trapped at the Supreme peak for a full 183,000 years!

Seeing that his junior Gu Lin Tian had already proven the Dao to become a Heavenly Emperor, even advancing toward the True Immortal realm.

But he could never fathom that final mystery.

He had thought that in this life he would stop here.

But he never expected that today he could obtain such a heaven-defying opportunity!

"Enough, stop kowtowing; the thanks aren't for me—this world was sensed by Yuan'er, so hurry up, don't waste time."

The patriarch waved his hand, looking impatient.

"Yes!"

Gu Linjiang took a deep breath and bowed again toward Gu Yuan.

Gu Yuan originally wanted to dodge sideways.

But the patriarch's hand pressed on him, leaving him no choice but to accept half the salute.

"Uncle Linjiang, you're killing me!"

"Yuan'er, you can bear it."

As Gu Linjiang sat cross-legged, his eyes burst with an unprecedented gleam.

"Rise!"

Seeing this, the patriarch gave a soft shout.

He extended his finger, tracing in the void.

Strands of profoundly mysterious Immortal Dao runes.

Flying from his fingertip, they instantly enveloped Gu Linjiang and the corpse of the Sword Sect residual immortal, forming a huge golden furnace.

"Refine!"

With the patriarch's order.

Inside the furnace, blazing true immortal Dao fire ignited!

That was the corpse of the Sword Gate remnant immortal.

Under the scorching of the Dao fire, it began to melt rapidly, turning into a cluster of the purest immortal Dao source, shimmering with endless sword light!

The Old Ancestor made a move again.

Using the supreme immortal method, he forcibly erased the will and impurities belonging to the Sword Gate remnant immortal within that source.

Then, controlling that cluster of pure immortal Way source, he slowly infused it into Gu Linjiang's body!

Ah——!

At the moment the immortal Way source entered his body, Gu Linjiang couldn't help but let out a painful howl.

His body was wildly cracking and reassembling!

His soul, under the scouring of the immortal Dao principles, kept shattering and condensing!

This is an extremely painful process.

But it is also a process of rebirth!

Gu Zhan and the others watched nervously from the side, their hearts leaping to their throats.

They knew this was the most important transformation of the Grand Elder's life.

Success would allow him to ascend in a single step, becoming a heavenly emperor powerhouse who rules a realm!

Failure... just try breaking through again.

Today, here, there are still three remnant immortals left.
